Labor Day Weekend

A^3 had a relaxing 4 day weekend. We had lots of fun just goofing around.

EEEEeeeee...being chased by Daddy on Friday!

Saturday was a lazy morning. We hung out in our pjs as long as possible. Ayson trying out a new hat.



Ayson: Mumma! What do you think of my helmet?



On Sunday, Grandma Collene and Grandpa Ric stopped by for a visit. Grandma made us a peach pie...yum! Thanks Grandma!



Walking in the yard with Grandma Collene.
Ayson: Come on Grandma, I'll show you where the apples are!



Ayson had a blast in the sprinkler. Saturday and Sunday were super hot days...so much for summer being over with!

Ayson: Yum! I love ice cream!!



While Daddy was cooking, Ayson wanted UP and he was very persistent. So Mommy fixed Daddy up with the Moby wrap and Ayson was able to "help" Daddy make chicken pot pie.

Lawn Mowers and Sunflowers

Ayson kept following Daddy (while Daddy was mowing) around the yard until Daddy stopped and gave Ayson a ride. Ayson insists on driving.



Check out where Ayson ended up :)



The sunflowers in our garden our unbelievably massive. The heads are so big that they bend the stalks right over. The biggest sunflowers are from seeds that Mommy planted and harvested in South Carolina back in 2002.

Pool Party at Grandpa Chuck and Pama's

On Saturday, we went to Grandpa Chuck and Pama's for Grandpa's Birthday. ALL of the kids had fun playing in their new pool! Happy Birthday, Grandpa Chuck!

Check out all of the kids and babies at the pool party! Ayson got to play with his first and second cousins and Pama's Sister's children.



Daddy splashing Ayson and Grandpa Chuck.





Daddy and Ayson playing in the water. Ayson was starting to shiver but he was so mad when we made him get out of the pool :)

Camping in the Adirondacks

Last weekend we went camping in the Adirondacks with friends. In order to get to the campsite, you needed a boat. Daddy was able to get GREAT use out of his boat and he was even able to do some fishing!

We all had a great time! The weather was perfect and it was great to hang out with friends. Ayson had a blast playing with the other kids and playing in the dirt. Ayson did a lot of playing in the dirt :)

Kayaking with Mommy.



Saturday morning fog while kayaking.



Ayson: hmmm, I like logs! I wonder how they taste...



Ayson LOVED riding on Daddy's boat. He also loved to drive the boat.
Ayson: Thanks for buying me a boat, Daddy :)

A Weekend on the Farm

Daddy, Mommy, and Ayson spent the weekend with Grandma Collene and Grandpa Ric, on the farm.

Ayson got to see the cows, ride around with Grandma and Grandpa, and visit with his Aunties, Uncles, and Cousins. Thanks for the Great weekend, Grandma and Grandpa!

Ayson: GO, go, Grandma, Go!





Ayson: WOW, Look at me way up high with Grandpa!





Ayson: Weeee...AGAIN Auntie Fran! Do it again!



Ayson: Hmmm...Curran, this water tastes GREAT!

A Visit with Grandma Pat and Grandpa Roger

Grandma Pat and Grandpa Roger flew in for a quick visit last weekend. Grandma helped with Ayson and Grandpa helped Daddy spend $ (Daddy bought a new TV :)
Ayson had a great time playing with Grandma and Grandpa!

Adventures in Mischief

Ayson has been busy exploring and Mommy and Daddy have just been trying to keep up :)

Ayson's new fort!



Playing in the gardens.




Ayson found the real oatmeal container and was helping himself to some oats!




Look, Daddy and Mommy! I can sweep the floor too!



Getting ready to go outside with Daddy.

Ayson LOVES berry pie!
